The purpose of the mid-term evaluation is to provide CARE International, the ALP team and ALP donors with an external analysis of ALP strategies, achievements and relevance which can be used to inform planning and decision making for the future of ALP and beyond. In particular, the mid-term evaluation will analyse and make recommendations on the ways and degree to which ALP is achieving learning among its external stakeholders, as demonstrated in:
- the difference ALP is making to the capacity of ALP communities and local governments to plan for and adapt to climate change,
- ALP engagement and influence in policy processes and
- ALP’s contribution to the national, African and global discourse on CBA learning and practice
In line with donor requirements, an external mid-term evaluation of ALP is required to assess ALP progress towards the log frame outputs, purpose and goals as well as key implementation strategies and make recommendations for improvements. Recommendations, with reasons, for the remaining 2.5 years of ALP and beyond, will propose changes to improve: the log frame, ALP relevance and accountability, approaches and methods, sustainability, up-scaling, effectiveness and efficiency.
